Static collision mesh problem.

Good day to you, good people.

I have come to a point in my mod, where I need a static mesh with collision.

So far, I was successful at creating collision meshes for ITEM models (i.e. with physics), by using Convex Shape for bhkRigidBodyModifier.

However, my static model requires a more detailed collision model, so Convex Shape is not suitable.

Strips Shape seems to be best solution for me, but whenever I export the mesh with Strips Shape, 3ds max crashes on me. I can export it with Packed Strips shape, but then the collision is only 10% the size of the model. (I did NOT test to see if it works in game).

 

So tried another approach.

I used bhkCollProxy liked to the mesh, set up for Strips shape and then I got the bhkRigidBody linked to CollProxy.

This exports without any problems AND I can see the collision in CK (f4)

However, it does not work as collision. It does not stops objects nor player to go through it.

I tried copying all the data I could from a vanilla static mesh collision, but to no avail.

Here is the data from NIFSkope:

(the last 4 of 7 unknown shorts are set to 0)

I could really use some help on this matter.

Thanks in advance.
